I hate any IP that has already been over merchandised... The best example being Simpsons. Also South Park, Famiy Guy, Kiss. Speaking of kiss, I also hate the idea of Ac/Dc and Metallica , both music I enjoy as little as I do Kiss. Seriously, there aren't any actual Kiss fans are there?

I digress, Simpsons merch seems so cheap and over hocked that I couldn't stand to put a pin like that in my home. A pin is a piece of art and I wouldn't be caught dead with a family guy or South Park poster in my house.

Quoted from Breadfan:

Wow, there are actual"douche bags"that play pinball....

Sorry I came off that way... this topic asked about themes that people dislike and I stated what themes I dislike, I guess I did it wrong.

My dislike for kiss has something to do with the amount of selling out they do at every opportunity. As said above, 1 billion dollars in merch.

Kiss were just slightly before my time, and I have heard a few of their songs that are alright, but for the most part I know the brand as a collection of things you could buy a Spencer gifts. Pair that with Gene Simmons reality TV appearances, and that's 90% of my exposure with Kiss. So it was a real question, I wasn't sure if there actually is a big Kiss following or just a band from yesterday trying to squeeze another penny out of their fans. I'm not trying to start any arguments, that's really how I perceived the bands image. I guess there is more to them.

But there's no need to go on the offense, and no need to insult people or insinuate that someone's tastes are worse than yours because they prefer different themes. And I definitely don't want to get into a "Oh, yeah? Well what do YOU like?" type argument.
